SPEGIFIGATIOH'iorminQ- part of Letters Patent No. 752,163, dated February 16,1904.

Application filed April 28, 1903. Serial No. 154,718. (No model.) i i To an whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, FRANK BENJAMIN HAR- RISON and LACEY YEA 'VVILLIA S, citizens of the United States, residing at Toledo, in the 5 county of Lucas and State of Ohio,have invented new and useful Improvements in Lubricating Devices for Car-Axle .1 ournals, of which the following is a specification, The object of our invention is the provision r0 ofa lubricating device for car-axle journals which shall be suspended and held by springpressure in contact with the lower surface of the journal. 1 Our invention consists in a lubricating-pan and spring devices which support the pan and are attached at their upper ends to the top of sides of the box. It further consists in certain novelties of construction and combinations of parts here- 2o inafter set forth and claimed.

The accompanying drawings illustrate an example of the physical embodiment of the invention with three specific spring or yielding devices for holding the pan to the journal constructed and arranged according to the best modes we have so far devised for the application of the principle;

Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional View in elevation of thejournal-box and a side view of the journal, brass, lubricating-pan, and the spring mechanism for suspending the. pan. Fig. 2 is a half cross-section on line 00 w and a half'crosshection on line y showing the two spring or yielding devices 'for suspending the pan in contact with the journal and therelative locations of the several parts.

Referring to the drawings, the letter A designates theYjQurnal-boX, whichis of the well-'known--Master Gar-Builders type; B,

4 the opening in the endjclosed by a lid; C, the

top ofthe box; D, the bearing for an equalizer, the end ofthe frame, or; a spring; E, the key; F, the brass; G, the journal; .H, the

lubricating-pan, which is to receive and hold,

4.5 the waste and lubricating rn'aterial; I,- the side walls of the pan; J, holes or slots in the side walls; K, a rod; L, a! spring made integral with the rod or cor-.rectedthereto in any suitable manner; a hook which is located within the hole in the side of the pan; N, an

eye; 0, ahook with a threaded shank, which latter is passed through a-hole I in thev top of.

the box; P, a. nut on the shank; Q, a suspending-rod; R, a hook at the'end engaging the hole or'slot in-the side of the pan; S, the threaded shank of the rod, passed through a hole in the top of the box; T, 3. spring, and U is a nut upon the end of the shank.

- It will be observed that in the two types of devices for suspending the pan (shown in full lines) the shanks of the rodQ and the'hook O are located in such positions at the top. of

the box that they will not interfere with the equalizer or frame which rests upon the box 7 nor with the, pedestal-jaws of the truck when the box is adapted for vertical movement.

The dottedlines W (V upon the pan represent the continuation of the rod K and rod Q beneath their pan and their union with the similarrods K and Q at the opposite side of the box, thusconstitutinga third type of suspensory means.

The method of withdrawing the pan from the box and inserting-it therein'isobviou's from the drawings and need not be set forth.

Vl hile we have described only three exarnples of the yielding or. spring devices fpr suspending the pan, we do not thereby intend to'exclude from the scope of our invention other and equivalent forms of the same involving modifications, inasmuch as changes may be introduced in practice without constituting substantial departures.

What we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

, l.' The combination with a journal-box and journal, of a pan open at the top and closed at the bottom to contain. a liquid lubricant and waste; and suspensory rods and springs secured at their lower ends to the pan and at their upper ends tozthe top of the box.

. 2. The combination with a journal and journal-box, of a. lubricatingpan; a brass and wedge; there being open spaces between the edges of thejbrass and wedge and the sides of the journal-box; and spring suspensory means for holding the pan against the journal; said In testimony whereof We aflix our signatures sprlng suspensory means belng secured at m presence of two wltnesses.

their lower ends to the pen and passed up- FRANK BENJAMEN HARRiSON. wardly through the open spaces between the LACEY YEA WILLIAMS.
